Authors
Shamik Dey, Ishanu Mandal, Rahul Nandi
Abstract
India is the largest producer of chilli as cash crop in all over the
world, contributing almost 43% of global production. Indian chilli is world
famous for its colour and pungency levels. Thrips and mites are very common
insect pests of chilli that can seriously harm chilli crop from the seedling
stage to reproductive stage. In case of thrips, both in their adult and nymphal
stages harm the chilli crop by drawing sap from the leaves, shoots, buds and
fruits. Long-term thrips feeding will curl delicate leaves and buds, change the
colour of the blossoms and fruit from bronze to black, and make the plant material
unsellable.
